Is landing a jet all automatic? Or do you have to control it and set it down gently? How does it feel and does it make you nervous when you do it?

Follow up questions is, when will airplanes become fully automatic to a point where an airline could opt to save on cost by only having just one experienced or a single junior pilot aboard just in case of emergencies? Also, does the airport control towers have the ability to take remote control of your aircraft during take off and landing and if not, when do you think such realities will be be made real?

Edit./ no idea why I'm getting downvoted it was a legitimate question. Automation is happening and progressing whether we like it or not.

We can't see it yet, but I imagine in the future all airplanes (and other modes of transport like cars) will be linked together through a wireless network that will increase efficiency and automatically start, stop, take off, and land vehicles and airplanes, practically eliminating traffic accidents and increasing efficiency at airports to serve more and more passengers.
